Soliloquy No. 2

I have recently started writing some solo Flute pieces, that make use of more "modern" harmonic ideas. He is the second one of the set that I names Soliloquy No. 2. Any feedback is welcomed!

Hi @Guardian25!

For a piece that stays in A minor pentatonic the whole time it didn't bore me!  If you really wanted to include some more "modern" harmonic ideas, I think you could have used a larger variety of modes and changes in mode and chromaticism.  Also, I believe it was only in the classical and baroque period where the appoggiatura ornament was used the way you have it here.  Nowadays composers usually just write out the notes instead of notating it as an ornament.  But I like this piece because it sustains a homogeneous mood throughout.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for listening! I guess when I say "modern" I meant harmonies that were not based around the Major/Minor Tonal system. In some of the other pieces, I composed using Whole Tone Scales ideas for a more "modern" feel!
